当剧目不再上演 Show Canceled

在你的鼓励下，妮露决定就剧场拆除一事和教令院学者进行辩论。为此，她需要收集很多论据。 With your encouragement, Nilou decided to debate with the Akademiya scholar about the demolition of the theatre. Thus, she needs to collect a lot of informat

召集众人，整理情况 Gather everybody and get the situation straight

众人被召集到一起，听了妮露的想法之后…

Everyone gathers together. After hearing Nilou's thoughts...

谢赫祖拜尔：想要用辩论的方式战胜教令院的人，和以卵击石没有区别。

Sheikh Zubayr：Trying to best the Akademiya in a debate is attempting the impossible.

谢赫祖拜尔：但如果你们想要试试看，我不会阻止，眼下的情况不会变得更糟了。

Sheikh Zubayr：If you really want to try, I won't stop you. It's not like our situation can get any worse.

里卡尔：没必要太悲观吧。在舍利夫的眼里，妮露的做法会显得很天真，但天真本来就是他们最缺少的东西。

Rekhar：I don't think it's entirely hopeless. To Sharif, Nilou's approach will come off as naive, but that kind of frankness is exactly what they lack the most.

里卡尔：说不定能起到意想不到的效果呢？

Rekhar：Things might turn out differently from what you expect.

加萨尼：我支持，听上去很浪漫，戏剧里以弱胜强的故事永远不会缺席。

Khasani：I am in favor of such a romantic feat. No playwright will turn down a compelling underdog story.

库洛什：那也只是戏剧啊，不太可能出现在现实之中吧…

Kourosh：Sure, in fiction, but I'm not sure how well that will translate to reality...

库洛什：啊，我没有不支持妮露的意思，需要我帮忙的话，尽管开口。

Kourosh：I—I'm not saying that I don't support you, Nilou. If you need my help, just say the word!

库洛什：这总比什么都不干，眼睁睁看着剧场被拆掉要好。

Kourosh：Anything is better than just standing aside and watching the theater get demolished.

内嘉：我也会出一份力，要让教令院的人看到我们的斗志。

Najia：I'm also pitching in. Let's show the Akademiya that we have some fight in us!

妮露：谢谢你们。有你们的支持，我也觉得心安了很多。

Nilou：Thank you, everyone. I feel a lot less nervous with your support!

阿娜耶：我不愿意泼冷水，但是，我父亲并不是一个好对付的人。

Inayah：Not to rain on your parade, but my father is a real hard guy to deal with.

阿娜耶：他知识渊博，逻辑严密，而且非常严苛，想要在辩论上赢过他，我觉得非常困难。

Inayah：He is erudite, meticulous, demanding, and exceedingly familiar with rigorous logic. It'll be extremely difficult to beat him in a debate.

阿娜耶：这种事你们应该都明白，只是不想打击妮露的积极性吧？

Inayah：You all already knew that, but you just didn't want to hurt Nilou's feelings.

阿娜耶：到头来，这不是在伤害她吗？

Inayah：When all's said and done, aren't you hurting her just the same?

谢赫祖拜尔：别这样，阿娜耶。

Sheikh Zubayr：That's enough, Inayah. Hehe...

阿娜耶：……

Inayah：...

阿娜耶：抱歉，我破坏气氛了。

Inayah：Sorry, I ruined the mood.

阿娜耶：我只是没办法强迫自己，去期待这件事有一个好的结果，也不想见到妮露为了不可能的事去努力。

Inayah：I just can't force myself to expect a positive outcome. Nilou shouldn't have to push herself for the sake of an impossible goal.

【选项1】

旅行者：这世上没有不可能的事。

Traveler: There is nothing in this world that is impossible.

【选项2】

旅行者：要先努力才会有成果。

Traveler: Success comes from hard work.

派蒙：对啊，怎么能现在就说丧气话。

Paimon：Yeah! It's way too early to give up.

妮露：你说得很对，阿娜耶。

Nilou：You're right, Inayah.

妮露：我们的对手是教令院，谁都知道他们很强大，或许不抱期望才是正常的。

Nilou：We're up against the Akademiya. Everyone knows that they're very powerful. Being skeptical might actually be the more normal response.

妮露：但我还是想试试看，如果就这样和「祖拜尔剧场」告别，我会非常不甘心。

Nilou：But I still want to try. I'm reluctant to just let Zubayr Theater go.

妮露：我相信不只是我，其他人也都会这么想。既然不甘心，就应该把声音汇聚到一起，好好说出来。

Nilou：And it's not just me — I think everyone else here feels the same way. If we're unhappy, we should speak up and let our voices be heard.

妮露：该说的都说了，该做的都做了之后，就算没有得到想要的结果，也不会给未来留下遗憾。

Nilou：Say what's on your mind, and do what you think should be done. If we fail after that, then at least we won't have any regrets.

妮露：因为，我们能掌握的，只有此时此刻的「选择」嘛。

Nilou：I mean... after all, the only thing we can control right now is our choice at this very moment.

阿娜耶：…这个我明白。不甘心，还有愤怒，对我来说都很强烈。

Inayah：...I understand what you're trying to say. I also have my own intense feelings of anger and regret.

妮露：那么，能麻烦你把我们想要辩论的这件事，告诉你的父亲吗？

Nilou：Then, could I trouble you to tell your father about our plan for a debate?

妮露：你应该还是有联系到家人的办法吧？

Nilou：You can still get in touch with your family, right?

阿娜耶：嗯，是的。

Inayah：Yes, I can.

妮露：那就拜托你了。我从来都没有进行过辩论，其实直到现在我也没有充足的信心。

Nilou：Then, please help us pass on my request. I've never participated in a debate, and truth be told, I'm still not really confident in myself.

妮露：但既然决定要辩论，我就会好好做准备，收集每个人想说的话，到时候一鼓作气全都说出来。

Nilou：But since we've decided on a debate, I'll do my best to prepare for it. I'll gather everyone's thoughts and let them be known to all during the debate.

妮露：我一个人的知识肯定赢不了你的父亲，但把整个剧场的人加起来，就不一定了，对吧？

Nilou：I by myself definitely don't have enough wisdom to beat your father, but what about the entire theater combined? Then we should have a chance, right?

阿娜耶：…嗯。

Inayah：...Right.

索林：说得没错，妮露姐姐！

Sohrin：That's right, Miss Nilou!

艾贝：打败坏人，正义必胜！

Abhi：Beat the bad guy! Justice will prevail!

索林：让他吃点苦头！

Sohrin：Make him eat dirt!

妮露：嘿嘿，你们两个，不是要去打架啦。

Nilou：Hee-hee, you two, we aren't getting into a fight.

妮露：不过，你们的鼓励我也收到了，我会好好加油的。

Nilou：But thank you for your encouraging words. I'll do my best!

派蒙：说得很好嘛，妮露！

Paimon：Well said back there, Nilou!

妮露：感觉有点夸下海口了…

Nilou：I felt that I might have said a bit too much...

妮露：我们还是赶紧做准备吧，首先要了解剧场其他人对这件事的想法。

Nilou：Anyway, we better start preparing now. First, let's see what everyone thinks about the situation.

派蒙：嗯，要去收集大家的建议！

Paimon：Alright, time to poll everyone's thoughts!

收集剧场成员的想法 Collect the thoughts of theater members

里卡尔：没想到你们居然想要挑战教令院。

Rekhar：I didn't expect you all to challenge the Akademiya.

里卡尔：让我不由得想到了年轻的时候啊，天不怕地不怕，永远都在朝着最危险的地方进发。

Rekhar：That reminded me of my younger years... Back then, I feared nothing and no one, and I was always charging into the most dangerous of places.

里卡尔：虽然现在已经没有这样的机会，但还是觉得回味无穷。

Rekhar：I can't do things like that anymore, but those were some of the best times of my life.

妮露：抱歉，如果剧场真的被教令院拆除了，你和索林还有艾贝就…

Nilou：Sorry... If the theater really ends up getting demolished, then you, Sohrin, and Abhi will all...

里卡尔：没关系，不用想得那么严重，就算剧场散了，人不都还在吗？

Rekhar：It's alright. There's no need to think such heavy thoughts. Even if the building gets demolished, its people will still all be here.

里卡尔：不用担心冒险家的韧性，到时候总会有办法。

Rekhar：Have faith in the resilience of an adventurer. We can always figure something out.

妮露：但这种戛然而止的感觉，会遗憾的吧，就像是没办法继续冒险那样…

Nilou：But won't you have regrets if things just come to an abrupt end? It'd be like when you were forced to stop adventuring...

里卡尔：原来你在担心这个啊。

Rekhar：Ah, so that's what you were worrying about.

里卡尔：放心吧，应对「遗憾」这方面我经验充足。刚开始确实会有点痛苦，但总有适应过来的那一天。

Rekhar：Relax, I've had a lot of experience with regret. Things are painful at first, but as they say, time heals all wounds.

里卡尔：你看现在，索林和艾贝都很开心，索林也刚刚通过了剧场的考试，很快就能成为一名演员了。

Rekhar：Look at us now: Sohrin and Abhi are happy, and Sohrin has also just passed his theater exam. He can start acting soon.

里卡尔：他那天可高兴了，就因为能和你在同一个舞台上演出。

Rekhar：He was thrilled because he can soon perform on the same stage as you.

里卡尔：要是没有曾经的苦难，我们就不会来到这个剧场。而索林会比现在更开心吗？也不一定吧。

Rekhar：We wouldn't be here if it weren't for our past struggles. And would Sohrin have become a happier person? That's hard to say.

派蒙：这是…安慰吗？

Paimon：Are you... trying to make us feel better?

里卡尔：有一半是安慰，另一半也是真心话。剧场的这段经历，让我慢慢明白一个道理。

Rekhar：Yes, but I truly do mean what I say. Being here at the theater has taught me an important lesson.

里卡尔：重要的不是经历本身，而是对经历的解读。

Rekhar：The most important thing about an experience is how you choose to interpret it.

里卡尔：我可以认为我的人生在我丈夫去世的时候就结束了，我也可以认为索林和艾贝他们因祸得福。

Rekhar：I can choose to believe that my life ended with my husband's death, or I can choose to believe that it was a blessing in disguise for Sohrin and Abhi.

里卡尔：同样，就算剧场消失不见了，我说不定也有机会开启一段新生活。

Rekhar：Similarly, even if this theater disappears, a new beginning might just be around the corner.

里卡尔：好事和坏事的概念，都是由人为定义，取决于你怎么看待它。

Rekhar："Good" and "bad" are all human-made concepts. It all depends on how we choose to see things.

妮露：有道理…

Nilou：You have a point...

里卡尔：所以，妮露，我知道剧场对你很重要。

Rekhar：Nilou, I know how important Zubayr Theater is to you.

里卡尔：但不用太过紧张，我们都在你的身边，剧场不会就这么散掉。

Rekhar：But you don't have to be so nervous — we're all here with you. The theater won't go down so easily.

妮露：嗯，谢谢你，里卡尔姐姐。

Nilou：Thank you, Ms. Rekhar.

里卡尔：不用客气，倒是你这份挺身而出的勇气，让我也备受鼓舞。说不定你能成为一个很优秀的冒险家。

Rekhar：No need to thank me. If anything, you inspired me with your bravery. You might have what it takes to become an excellent adventurer.

【选项1】

旅行者：她没问题的。

Traveler: She has it in the bag.

【选项2】

旅行者：她已经是了。

Traveler: She's already a first-rate adventurer.

妮露：太、太过奖了…

Nilou：Y—You're too kind...

妮露：那我就借你们的鼓励，打起精神，振作起来！

Nilou：Alright, I gotta cheer up! I can't waste everyone's words of encouragement!

妮露：哈啊，心情一下子变得开朗不少呢。

Nilou：Haaah, I feel a lot better.

里卡尔：那就好，辩论的时候，我会带上孩子们为你加油打气的。

Rekhar：Good. My children and I will be cheering you on at the debate.

派蒙：我有点不想和他讲话…

Paimon：Paimon doesn't really wanna talk to him...

加萨尼：这么快就对我抱有成见了，本来我还想提出一些建议呢。

Khasani：So you've already developed some prejudices against me. And to think, I was just about to put forward a suggestion...

派蒙：那倒是可以听听看。

Paimon：Ooh, Paimon will listen to that!

加萨尼：不过之前的那个问题，我不知道你们有没有新的答案，现在讨论貌似也符合时宜。

Khasani：Although, I know not if you have a new answer to my previous question. Now seems like an appropriate time to revisit it.

加萨尼：艺术的意义，你们觉得是什么？

Khasani：What do you think is the meaning of art?

派蒙：又来啊？！

Paimon：Ugh... This again?

妮露：但是要证明艺术拥有价值，恐怕我们必须要面对这个问题。

Nilou：We probably do need to tackle this question if we want to prove the value of the arts.

妮露：可是我也不知道该怎么表达，我只知道，如果我们表演的节目能让观众看得开心，我也会跟着很开心。

Nilou：I don't know how to explain it, but all I know is that when my performance makes the audience happy, I also become very happy.

妮露：这算不算一种意义呢？

Nilou：Does that count as a meaning?

派蒙：你回答得好认真，你难道不知道他总是前言不搭后语吗？

Paimon：You answered him so seriously! Careful, Nilou, this guy's ramblings never make any sense.

加萨尼：不不不，妮露的回答比你要好多了。而且，已经很接近我心中的答案。

Khasani：No, no, Nilou's answer far surpasses yours, and it is close to my own.

加萨尼：艺术的意义，并不是由创作者赋予，而是由欣赏者赋予的。

Khasani：The meaning of art comes not from its creators, but from its audience.

加萨尼：换句话说，只有能被人欣赏的艺术，才会在欣赏者的精神世界中留下痕迹与价值。

Khasani：In other words, only art that can be appreciated by others will impart its essence and value upon the minds of its audience.

加萨尼：这种事，教令院那帮人绝对不会明白。

Khasani：This is something that the Akademiya can never understand.

旅行者：你好像很有故事。

Traveler：You seem to have many stories of your own.

加萨尼：我曾经像学者追求智慧那样，追求过艺术的穷尽。

Khasani：I once pursued the mastery of art, much like how a researcher would chase wisdom and knowledge.

加萨尼：但我体会到的只有「不理解」，从那时起我就很在乎「是否被理解」这件事。

Khasani：However, the more of a connoisseur I became, the less I felt I understood. I began to question what it truly meant for art to be "understood" at all.

加萨尼：我明白曲高和寡的道理，但我无法从这个借口中获得安慰。

Khasani：I knew that the most sophisticated works are often the least appreciated, and yet somehow, that provided me with little solace.

加萨尼：我一直在为之困惑，直到我来到这里，看到了妮露的表演。

Khasani：I remained ever perplexed about this conundrum until I visited this theater, and watched one of Nilou's performances.

派蒙：有这么厉害嘛…

Paimon：It was that life-changing...?

加萨尼：这里的所有人，都乐在其中。台上的表演者享受观众的视线，台下的欣赏者沉浸于美妙的氛围。

Khasani：Everyone here had a joyous part in the overall experience. The actors upon the stage basked in the love of their audience, while those in the house immersed themselves in the wondrous ambiance.

加萨尼：说实话，以我挑剔的眼光看，演得不怎么样。

Khasani：In all honesty, from a purely critical point of view, the performances here are exceedingly average.

妮露：不要突然这样说啊…

Nilou：Hey, don't say something like that...

加萨尼：但更让我困惑的是，演得不怎么样，却能征服所有的观众，甚至征服了我。

Khasani：But what bewildered me was how despite the performances' middling quality, they captivated their whole audience... they captivated even me.

加萨尼：——原来是我走错了路，我想要的从来都不是什么穷尽。

Khasani：I realized then that I had walked the wrong road. The mastery of art was never what I truly wanted.

加萨尼：我离开了所谓艺术研究者的前沿领域，来到了这个剧场，因为这里才有我想要的东西。

Khasani：I left the so-called frontiers of artistic research and came to this theater, for this is where I can finally find what I seek.

加萨尼：艺术不再是空中楼阁，它是启发也好，娱乐也好，首先它要能够被人欣赏，才能带去正面的价值。

Khasani：Art will no longer be a castle in the sky. Whether it be inspiring or entertaining, art must be appreciated by others to confer value.

加萨尼：如果做不到这一点，艺术便毫无意义。

Khasani：If art cannot accomplish that, then it is meaningless.

妮露：如果这样说的话…

Nilou：When you put it that way...

妮露：我和祖拜尔先生不愿意按照教令院的命令改变剧场的节目，也有相似的原因在里面。

Nilou：Mr. Zubayr and I refused to follow the Akademiya's orders to change our shows for a similar reason.

妮露：简单来说，就是担心大家会看不懂，觉得没意思…

Nilou：To put it simply, we were afraid that our shows would lose their meaning if people couldn't understand them...

加萨尼：我曾经备受瞩目，但我放弃了这些虚名，换来了如今的自由。

Khasani：I once stood in the spotlight, but I relinquished fame and acclaim for the freedom I enjoy today.

加萨尼：我不在乎我接下来走向何方，但妮露，你要对一件事保持清醒。

Khasani：I care not for where my feet may take me next, but Nilou, you need to remember one thing.

加萨尼：你已经拥有了最好的舞台，而这样的机遇绝非随处可见。

Khasani：You already stand upon the finest stage there is, and that is a rare gift that should never be taken for granted.

加萨尼：即便是教令院，也不能对他们妥协。

Khasani：You cannot give it up, not even to the Akademiya.

妮露：我明白了，谢谢加萨尼先生的鼓励。

Nilou：I understand. Thank you for your words of encouragement, Mr. Khasani.

加萨尼：让那帮做学问的家伙也清醒一下吧。

Khasani：Dust the cobwebs away from the eyes of those scholars.

派蒙：他一点都不像无所谓的样子，好认真啊…

Paimon：He really seemed to care a lot about the theater...

妮露：熟悉之后就知道他其实是个外冷内热的人，他还会帮忙修桌椅和刷油漆呢。

Nilou：Once you get to know him, you'll realize that he's actually a big softie at heart. He'll even help out with furniture repair and painting the stage!

派蒙：完全看不出来！

Paimon：Wow, Paimon didn't think he had that in him at all!

收集剧场成员的想法 Collect the thoughts of theater members

妮露：祖拜尔先生，我们想收集一些可能派上用场的论据，你有什么主意吗？

Nilou：Mr. Zubayr, we're trying to put together a list of arguments that might be useful. Any ideas?

谢赫祖拜尔：道理很容易讲通，他们简直是在胡搅蛮缠。

Sheikh Zubayr：It won't be difficult to explain our position. They're in the wrong, and they know it!

谢赫祖拜尔：我一直以来都在认真管理剧场的各项事务，从来没缺漏过什么手续和许可。

Sheikh Zubayr：I have meticulously managed this theater's affairs for years, and I have abided by every procedure and obtained every permit.

谢赫祖拜尔：原本是为了在这种时候堵住他们的嘴，没想到，这帮人现在连规则都不讲了。

Sheikh Zubayr：I did all of that to protect ourselves if something like this were to occur. I didn't expect them to disregard the rules altogether...

旅行者：可能和阿娜耶有关系。

Traveler：This might have something to do with Inayah.

谢赫祖拜尔：嗯，我知道。但她现在留在剧场，那就是我们剧场的人。

Sheikh Zubayr：Yes, I know. But anyone who's staying at the theater is one of us.

谢赫祖拜尔：要是连剧场的人都要为了外面的压力而担惊受怕，那我这个剧场经理也太没用了。

Sheikh Zubayr：If I can't even protect the members of the theater from outside pressure, then I have failed in my duty as a manager.

谢赫祖拜尔：总之，底气要足，严格按照规矩来办。他们没有资格拆除剧场，至少现在没有。

Sheikh Zubayr：In summary, you need sufficient confidence and strict adherence to the rules. At least for now, they don't have the authority to demolish the theater.

谢赫祖拜尔：只要死咬这一点，逼他们在这一点上让步，就能在气势上压过他们。

Sheikh Zubayr：As long as you double down on that point and force them to concede it, you'll gain an advantage.

妮露：嗯！我记下了。

Nilou：Alright, got it!

谢赫祖拜尔：唉，不过这种事我也见过不少了，谁让对手是教令院呢。

Sheikh Zubayr：sigh I've seen many situations like this before. The Akademiya sure likes to get its nose into everyone's business...

谢赫祖拜尔：你们准备的同时，我也得妥善安排剧场之后的事宜，总之还是要做好最坏的打算。

Sheikh Zubayr：While you prepare for the debate, I will also prepare the theater for the potential aftermath. It's best to prepare for the worst outcome.

谢赫祖拜尔：等你们聊完之后，就替我去通知一下老顾客们剧场停演的消息吧。

Sheikh Zubayr：Once you're done chatting, do me a favor and tell our customers that we're canceling all of our shows.

派蒙：真的必须要停演吗？

Paimon：Do we really have to...?

谢赫祖拜尔：现在也没人有心思演出了吧，我要对剧场的人负责，也要对观众负责，只能这样了。

Sheikh Zubayr：Right now, no one's in the right frame of mind to perform. I have to consider both our staff and our customers. This is the only way.

谢赫祖拜尔：…妮露，你很了不起。

Sheikh Zubayr：...Nilou, you are incredible.

谢赫祖拜尔：最不愁出路的人是你，但你是第一个站出来的。

Sheikh Zubayr：With your talent and youth, you had the least to lose out of all of us. And yet, you were still the first to take a stand.

妮露：我从来没有想过要离开这里，祖拜尔先生。我真的很喜欢这里，我还想继续在这里跳舞。

Nilou：I've never thought about leaving your theater, Mr. Zubayr. I truly love this place, and I want to keep dancing here.

妮露：也还想和大家一起跳舞。

Nilou：I also want to keep dancing with everyone else.

谢赫祖拜尔：真是越来越像她了…

Sheikh Zubayr：You're becoming more and more like her...

谢赫祖拜尔：加油吧。尽人事，知天命。

Sheikh Zubayr：Do your best. We'll do all that we can, and leave the rest to fate.

派蒙：「她」？

Paimon："Her"?

妮露：是我的老师，跳舞非常厉害，不过现在已经隐退了。

Nilou：My teacher. She was an excellent dancer, but she's retired now.

妮露：等以后有机会，我可以好好和你讲她的故事。

Nilou：If we have time later, I'd be happy to tell you more about her.

法哈德：你们来了！剧场不会真的要停演吧？！

Farhad：You're here! Is the theater actually closing!?

胡尚：这家伙担心好久了，回来的路上就在不停地念叨。

Hushang：He's been worried sick for a while now. He wouldn't stop talking the whole way back.

法哈德：你还不是一样！

Farhad：H—Hey, you too!

朱特：到底怎么回事啊，之前来的是教令院的人？

Jut：What exactly happened? Did someone come down from the Akademiya?

妮露：嗯，我们接到了通知，要在三十天内停业并拆除这个剧场…

Nilou：Yes. He told us that we have to shut down the theater within thirty days, and that it's going to be demolished...

法哈德：突然就这样，搞什么啊！

Farhad：What the heck!? That came with no warning!

阿夫辛：唉，又来折腾人了。

Afshin：sigh They're messing with us again.

法哈德：难道必须要这么做吗？

Farhad：Don't tell me you'll have to listen to him?

胡尚：你这不是废话嘛。

Hushang：C'mon, you know the answer to that.

法哈德：也是，毕竟是教令院的命令…

Farhad：Yeah, it IS a direct order from the Akademiya...

妮露：不过大家不用太担心，我正在做准备，打算和教令院的人公开辩论。

Nilou：There's no need to worry, though. I'm preparing for a public debate with the Akademiya.

妮露：如果我赢了，说不定就能改变这件事的结果，让他们回心转意。

Nilou：If I win, we might be able to overturn things and change their minds.

朱特：居然还能这样？了不起，了不起。没问题，我百分之百支持你。

Jut：Really? That's terrific. You have my full support, no doubt about that.

阿夫辛：我也是。对了，他们突然发难的理由是什么，还是因为对这里的演出有偏见吗？

Afshin：Mine too! So, what was their excuse, anyway? They still not a fan of the theater's programs?

妮露：嗯，应该是的…

Nilou：Yeah, something like that...

法哈德：他们根本什么都不懂，也亏他们能妄下决断。

Farhad：Good thing they have the power to make rash decisions about things they don't even understand, huh?

胡尚：天天做学问，一点烟火气都没有。

Hushang：Yeah, they need to touch more grass, not books.

阿夫辛：就是啊，他瞧不起我们，我们还瞧不起他呢，哈哈哈。

Afshin：Exactly. They want to look down on us? Haha, we'll look down on them first!

朱特：放心，这里的大家都是你坚实的后盾。他们肆意妄为并不会受到尊重。

Jut：Don't worry, everyone here has your back. The Akademiya's recklessness won't get them any praise.

法哈德：对啊，可能他们觉得智慧分为三六九等，高低贵贱，但艺术欣赏是一视同仁的。

Farhad：Right. They might think that some forms of knowledge are more valuable than others, but everyone can equally appreciate art.

法哈德：不信让他们来和我辩两句，他们还没我懂得多呢。

Farhad：If they don't believe that, send 'em my way. I got them beat on this subject.

胡尚：辩论的时候，准备点舞蹈演出的题刁难一下对方怎么样？

Hushang：Maybe you can prepare some questions on the details of dance performance to make things harder for them at the debate?

妮露：应该这样做吗？好像…是个好主意。

Nilou：Hmm... Sounds like a good idea. Maybe that's something I should do.

法哈德：别理他，他在开玩笑，你按你的想法做就好。

Farhad：Ignore him — he's joking. Just do things your way.

法哈德：反正我们都会支持你的。

Farhad：No matter what, we will always support you.

妮露：嗯，谢谢大家，有你们的理解和支持，我也更安心了。

Nilou：Thank you all so much! Your understanding and support make me feel a lot better.

朱特：办法总比困难多嘛，到时候需要帮忙的话只要喊一声，整个大巴扎的人都会来帮忙。

Jut：There are always more solutions than problems. If you need help during the debate, just shout and the entire Grand Bazaar will be at your beck and call.

阿夫辛：气势上绝对不能输，哈哈。

Afshin：Heh, gotta show them who has the people's support!

回到剧场 Go back to the theater

妮露：艾贝，你看到阿娜耶姐姐了吗？

Nilou：Abhi, have you seen Miss Inayah?

艾贝：没有哦，她没回来。

Abhi：No, Miss Nilou! Miss Inayah isn't back yet.

派蒙：只是去通知，需要那么久的时间吗？

Paimon：Wasn't she just passing on a message? Does she really need this much time?

旅行者：会不会和她父亲又吵起来了？

Traveler：Could she have started arguing with her father again?

妮露：……

Nilou：...

妮露：啊，糟了！

Nilou：Ahhhh... Oh no.

妮露：旅行者，派蒙！我好像犯了个大错…

Nilou：Traveler, Paimon! I think I've messed up big time...

妮露：阿娜耶会不会从一开始就没有打算回来啊？

Nilou：What if Inayah never planned to come back?

派蒙：欸？！

Paimon：What!?

【选项1】

旅行者：冷静一点。

Traveler: Calm down.

【选项2】

旅行者：解释一下。

Traveler: Please explain.

妮露：我突然有这样的直觉。以她的性格，她会把这次事件的责任都揽到自己身上。

Nilou：It's just a gut feeling, but knowing her, she probably feels like she's completely responsible for what happened.

妮露：她会认为是因为她待在剧场，所以剧场才会被拆掉。

Nilou：She probably thinks that all of this happened because she was staying here.

派蒙：对哦，她父亲一来，她就说父亲在针对她，她始终都这么想…

Paimon：Oh right, as soon as her father showed up, she said that her father was targeting her. So she's felt like that this whole time...

妮露：他们有很深的矛盾，她就是因为这个才离家出走。

Nilou：She has a long-standing conflict with her father. That's why she ran away from home.

妮露：她觉得我们赢不了辩论，又不想牵连我们，那最好的解决方法就是离开这里…

Nilou：She doesn't think that we can win the debate, and she doesn't want to implicate us, so she thought leaving was the best thing to do...

【选项1】

旅行者：所以我们说要辩论的时候…

Traveler: So, even after we decided to go for the debate...

【选项2】

旅行者：她内心仍然不认同。

Traveler: She still couldn't bring herself to support it.

派蒙：唔，然后就悄悄地走了…

Paimon：Mhm, and then she just quietly left afterward...

【选项1】

旅行者：她对自己太苛刻。

Traveler: She's too harsh on herself.

【选项2】

旅行者：没有谁应该成为牺牲品。

Traveler: No one should bear all the blame.

妮露：没错，她只是太悲观了，不努力试试看怎么知道结果呢？

Nilou：Exactly. She's being too pessimistic. How will you know if you don't try?

妮露：不管怎么样，先把她找回来吧！

Nilou：Anyway, first things first, we have to get her back!

派蒙：——说是要找，须弥这么大，要到哪里去找啊？

Paimon：...But where should we start? Sumeru is huge!

妮露：…我有点头绪，我们先去城外看看吧。

Nilou：I think I might know. Let's start by looking outside the city.

妮露：在我带她来剧场之前，她在野外有个临时的宿营地。那时候她喝了不干净的水，发了高烧，我把她背了回来。

Nilou：Before I brought her to Zubayr Theater, she was staying at a remote campsite. She got a fever from drinking unclean water, so I carried her back.

妮露：她如果离开剧场之后没地方去，可能想要重新在野外过一个人的生活。

Nilou：If she has nowhere else to go after leaving the theater, she might go back and strike out on her own again.

派蒙：那我们就去看看。

Paimon：Then let's go take a look!

妮露：嗯，快走吧。

Nilou：Yes, let's hurry.

去城外寻找阿娜耶 Find Inayah outside the city

妮露：这里有人停留过的痕迹还很新…

Nilou：There are signs that someone had stayed here very recently...

派蒙：这也没办法确定是不是她留下的啊。

Paimon：But we can't confirm if it was Inayah or not.

派蒙：总之先在周围找找看吧。

Paimon：Let's take a look around first!

阿娜耶：喝啊——！

Inayah：Aaah—!

附近传来了阿娜耶的声音。

You hear Inayah's voice...

派蒙：听到了吗？

Paimon：Did you hear that?

【选项1】

旅行者：有声音。

Traveler: I heard a voice.

【选项2】

旅行者：是不是阿娜耶？

Traveler: Is it Inayah?

妮露：我也听到了，我们快过去看看吧。

Nilou：I heard it, too. Let's investigate.

接近声音传来的方向 Get close to the direction where the sound is from

派蒙：我们好像越来越近了，声音是从那边传过来的！

Paimon：It sounds like we're getting closer. The voice is coming from over there!

妮露：嗯，马上就要到了。

Nilou：Yeah, we're almost there!

阿娜耶：别过来！

Inayah：Stay back!

派蒙：果然是她！她被野兽缠上了！

Paimon：It's Inayah! She's being attacked by wild animals!

妮露：别害怕，阿娜耶，我们现在就来救你！

Nilou：Inayah, don't be scared! We're coming to help!

你们解决了围困阿娜耶的野兽。

You rescue Inayah, who had been surrounded by beasts.

与阿娜耶交谈 Talk to Inayah

阿娜耶：谢、谢谢你们…

Inayah：T—Thank you...

阿娜耶：这个地方，以前好像没有这么多大型野兽，它们追了我好远。

Inayah：There weren't so many big animals in this area before. They chased after me for a long time...

阿娜耶：不好意思，又给你们添麻烦了。

Inayah：Sorry, I'm causing trouble for you again...

妮露：怎么还是一个人离开了呢？

Nilou：Why did you leave by yourself?

妮露：果然还是觉得辩论没有希望吗？

Nilou：You really don't think we have a chance at winning the debate?

阿娜耶：不，只是我觉得太麻烦了。

Inayah：No, I just thought it would take too much effort.

阿娜耶：事情是因我而起，只要我离开了，事情就解决了啊。

Inayah：Everything happened because of me. If I'm gone, then the situation will resolve itself.

旅行者：但是其他人都在努力。

Traveler：But everyone else is trying so hard.

派蒙：对啊，大家都想拼一个更好的结果，没有谁应该被牺牲。

Paimon：Yeah! Everyone's working together towards a happier ending. No one should be singled out for blame.

阿娜耶：我无所谓的，只要剧场没事就好了…

Inayah：It's alright if it's me. As long as the theater won't get demolished...

阿娜耶：大家都是我见过最善良最热情的人，不该因为我而遭遇不幸。

Inayah：You guys are the kindest people I've ever met. You shouldn't suffer so much because of me.

妮露：听我说，阿娜耶。

Nilou：Listen to me, Inayah.

妮露：这件事就算真的是因你而起，也没有任何人责怪你。

Nilou：Even if you were the reason that all of this happened, no one would blame you.

妮露：祖拜尔先生说，你是剧场的一份子，那就是我们要保护的人。

Nilou：Mr. Zubayr said that you're one of us, so that means we will protect you.

妮露：无论面对什么情况，我们都站在一起。

Nilou：No matter what happens, we'll stand as one.

阿娜耶：总会有牺牲的，妮露，无论是我还是剧场，没有两全的办法。

Inayah：Nilou, there will always be a victim, whether it's me or the theater. You can't eat your cake and have it, too.

阿娜耶：辩论是赢不了教令院的，更何况对手还是我的父亲。

Inayah：You can't win a debate against the Akademiya, especially since your opponent will be my father.

旅行者：为什么如此笃定？

Traveler：Why are you so sure of this?

阿娜耶：我的父亲，是个非常严苛的人。

Inayah：My father is an extremely demanding man.

阿娜耶：他一直都希望我成为一个了不起的学者，能够继承他的事业。

Inayah：He's always wanted me to become an exceptional researcher and his academic successor.

阿娜耶：我曾经也很努力地想要回应他的期待，并做到了我认为的最好。

Inayah：I tried my best to meet his expectations, and did everything I could.

阿娜耶：但他还是不满意…或者说他从来就没有对我满意过。

Inayah：But he still wasn't satisfied... or rather, he had just never been satisfied with me.

阿娜耶：我不是天才，他每次教训我的表情，都像是在质问我，为什么我不是一个天才？

Inayah：I'm no genius, but whenever he berated me, it was always as if he was asking me, "Why aren't you a genius?"

阿娜耶：我又问谁去啊…

Inayah：Yeah, like I'd know...

派蒙：所以，你就从家里逃出来了，是吗？

Paimon：So that's why you ran away from home?

阿娜耶：我本来以为，父亲会随着时间慢慢接受现实，但他好像只是不停地对我发泄他的怨气。

Inayah：At first, I thought that Father would slowly come to terms with reality, but he just wouldn't stop berating me.

阿娜耶：在一次测验中，我拿到了第三名的好成绩。

Inayah：For one exam, I earned the third-highest score.

阿娜耶：我觉得努力得到了回报，终于能让父亲开心一下了。

Inayah：I thought that all my hard work had finally paid off, that I could finally make Father feel some modicum of joy.

阿娜耶：我还用从学院学来的手艺制作了刺绣，想要让他记住这一天…

Inayah：I even used the embroidery skills I learned at school to make a commemorative gift for him.

阿娜耶：「女儿至少也有讨他喜欢的时候，对吧？」

Inayah：I thought... "Even this daughter can make her father happy sometimes, right?"

妮露：原来是这样…准备礼物的时候，我也感觉到了，你不像是初学者。

Nilou：I see... When we were embroidering your gift before, I didn't feel like you were new at it.

阿娜耶：嗯，抱歉，我隐瞒了这件事，因为很难受。

Inayah：Yeah, sorry for not bringing it up. These are not pleasant memories for me.

阿娜耶：那时的我只是想看他对我笑，每天挨骂我已经有些疲惫了。

Inayah：I was tired of him yelling at me every day. All I wanted was to see him smile at me.

阿娜耶：结果，听到我成绩，拿到礼物的他，却比任何一次都要生气，一巴掌就打飞了我做的刺绣。

Inayah：But... He was more angry than ever before once I'd given him my embroidery and told him my score. He flung my present to the side.

阿娜耶：「你觉得第三名就应该沾沾自喜吗？你不反省为什么你不是第一吗？」

Inayah："You think you should be proud of third place? Reflect on why you weren't first!"

阿娜耶：我都忘了我那时哭了多久，我只记得我听到我母亲和父亲吵架，母亲也觉得我父亲太过苛刻。

Inayah：I forgot how long I had cried for. I only remember my parents arguing. My mother also thought he went overboard.

阿娜耶：但两个人吵了很久很久，最后我父亲摔门而出，我没能等到一句道歉，安慰也没有…

Inayah：They argued for such a long time. My father eventually stormed out and slammed the door behind him. I didn't get a single sentence of apology, or any words of comfort...

阿娜耶：我彻底放弃了。我们注定无法互相理解。

Inayah：I've completely given up. We're destined to never understand each other.

妮露：好过分…

Nilou：How horrible...

阿娜耶：我觉得赢不了他，是因为他根本不理解剧场是个什么样的地方。

Inayah：I don't think you can beat him in a debate, because he doesn't even understand what kind of place a theater is.

阿娜耶：他无法理解这里的表演者和观众之间的关系，他的生活中不存在集体与友情。

Inayah：He can never understand the relationship performers have with their audience. His life is devoid of camaraderie or friendship.

阿娜耶：他只是想要一切都顺遂他的心意，让世界围着他转。

Inayah：He just wants everything to happen according to his wishes, as if the world revolves around him.

阿娜耶：我们珍视的东西，小小的容身之所，在他的眼里，一文不值…

Inayah：What we cherish — our little place in this world — means nothing to him...

派蒙：听上去，过去的事对你影响很大。

Paimon：It sounds like your past has had a huge impact on you.

妮露：我了解了，阿娜耶。

Nilou：I understand now, Inayah.

妮露：但是，在我们准备辩论的时候，我听到了一句很有道理的话，不知道对你会不会有帮助。

Nilou：But, when we were preparing for the debate, I heard something quite wise. Maybe it'll help you.

记得里卡尔说的是：「重要的不是经历本身，而是对经历的解读。」

Rekhar once said that "The most important thing about an experience is how you choose to interpret it."

妮露：你知道吗，里卡尔姐姐虽然很辛苦，但她对我们说，她现在很感谢在剧场生活的日子。

Nilou：Ms. Rekhar has gone through a lot in her life, but she told us that she's very happy to live at the theater now.

妮露：虽然遭遇了不幸，但她也因此邂逅了新的生活方式，她因此感到幸福。

Nilou：Although she ran into misfortune, it led her down a new path in life. She sees that as a blessing.

妮露：她对我说，重要的不是经历本身，而是自己对于这段经历的解读。

Nilou：She told me that the most important thing about an experience is how you choose to interpret it.

阿娜耶：解读…？

Inayah：Interpret it...?

妮露：我非常能理解家庭给你带来的不幸，但在离开那个环境之后，你来到了剧场，成为了我们的一员。

Nilou：I can sympathize with your unhappiness at home, but after you ran away, you ended up at the theater and became one of us.

妮露：那段经历让你格外珍惜与大家的牵绊，也让你有机会融入这里。

Nilou：Those unhappy experiences allowed you to really cherish your bonds with everyone, and also gave you the opportunity to become friends with us.

妮露：那么，就不要因为过去的痛苦，放弃眼下你好不容易找到的新生活啊。

Nilou：Don't let your past suffering keep you from the new life that you've worked so hard to find.

阿娜耶：这个…

Inayah：Oh...

派蒙：过去的事就当它过去了吧。

Paimon：Let the past stay in the past.

【选项1】

旅行者：你不用继续苛责自己。

Traveler: You don't have to be so hard on yourself anymore.

【选项2】

旅行者：这是你新的人生。

Traveler: This is your new beginning.

阿娜耶：当初我离开家，就是下定决心要从那种对抗里走出来…

Inayah：When I ran away from home, I swore that I would leave my family conflict behind...

阿娜耶：也对啊，这样不就是绕回去了吗…

Inayah：But you're right, all I'm doing now is falling right back into it...

妮露：或许你会让他失望，但这也没有什么大不了的，你还有新的未来。

Nilou：Maybe you'll disappoint him, but that doesn't matter. You have a new future waiting for you.

妮露：好不容易寻找到的答案，不能就这么放手。

Nilou：Don't let go of the answer you've worked so hard to find.

派蒙：没错，齐心协力，总会有办法的。

Paimon：That's right! If we put our heads together, there's bound to be a way!

阿娜耶：嗯，你们说得对，好像的确没什么大不了的。

Inayah：You're right, there's nothing to be afraid of.

阿娜耶：不是为了回应他的期望，更不能因此而放弃。

Inayah：I'm not trying to meet his expectations, so why should I give up because of him?

阿娜耶：不能再因为它失去更多的东西了，而是要赢。

Inayah：I can't afford to lose anything more... We have to win.

阿娜耶：辩论的方式不仅能守护剧场，我还能有机会和父亲做一个了结。

Inayah：The debate will not only protect Zubayr Theater, but also allow me to settle things with Father.

旅行者：没错。

Traveler：That's right.

派蒙：就是这种斗志！

Paimon：That's the spirit!

阿娜耶：我们走吧，我把辩论的事转达给我的父亲。

Inayah：Let's go. I'll tell my father about the debate.

阿娜耶：我很了解他，即便他看不起我们，我还是有办法让他接受。

Inayah：I know him very well. Even if he looks down on us, I know how to make him accept.

妮露：嗯，走吧。

Nilou：Alright, let's go.

一同返回须弥城 Go back to Sumeru City together

阿娜耶：那么，我去见他，请你们稍等我一会儿。

Inayah：Well, I'm off to meet with him. Please wait here for me.

妮露：嗯，期待你的好消息。

Nilou：Okay. Looking forward to your good news.

妮露：呼，这样应该就万无一失，只等辩论的开始了吧。

Nilou：Phew, that should be everything. The only thing left to do now is to wait until the debate.

妮露：不知道为什么又有点紧张起来了。

Nilou：I'm not sure why, but I'm getting nervous again.

派蒙：你说得很好啊，漂亮地说服了阿娜耶。

Paimon：You were great, Nilou! Your words won over Inayah.

派蒙：辩论的时候如果也有这种气势，那胜利肯定不在话下。

Paimon：Talk like that during the debate, and you'll get an easy win!

妮露：谢谢你的鼓励，派蒙。

Nilou：Thanks for that, Paimon.

妮露：但我感觉到时候会被刁难，我需要更加冷静和从容。

Nilou：But I still feel like it'll be an uphill battle. I need to be calmer, cooler, and more collected.

【选项1】

旅行者：他们不占理。

Traveler: We haven't broken any rules.

【选项2】

旅行者：我们有很多支持者。

Traveler: Lots of people are rooting for us.

妮露：嗯，想到代表的是大家，就算害怕我也要打起精神来。

Nilou：Yeah. I'm acting as everyone's representative, so I'll need to act brave, even if I won't feel like it.

旅行者：还有一个问题没有解决。

Traveler：There's still one problem left unsolved.

妮露：嗯，还有什么吗？

Nilou：Huh? What's left?

【选项1】

旅行者：剧场的存在…

Traveler: The theater's existence...

【选项2】

旅行者：只是为了「艺术」和「演出」吗？

Traveler: Is it only for art and performance?

派蒙：唔，好奇怪的问题…

Paimon：Huh? What a strange question...

派蒙：剧场不就是剧场吗？这应该是理所当然的吧。

Paimon：Isn't a theater just a theater? Why would it need to be anything else?

妮露：等等，我好像有点明白你的意思了，让我好好想想。

Nilou：Wait... You're not asking what the theater DOES, but what it IS.

妮露：稍微给我一点时间！让我回忆一下我们一路上遇到的事！

Nilou：Lemme think... Um, how can I put this? Hmm...

妮露仔细回想了这一路上众人说过的话…

Nilou carefully recalls what everyone said along the way...

妮露：啊，我明白了，是这样啊。

Nilou：Ah, got it!

妮露：为剧场奔波的时候，我们听到的不是剧场，而是一个又一个人的故事。

Nilou：When we were trying to find a way to save the theater, we heard many stories not of the theater, but of the people whose lives have been touched by it.

妮露：剧场是我们聚在一起的理由，它把我们每一个人都用独特的方式连接在了一起。

Nilou：Zubayr Theater is our reason for coming together. It connects us all in unique ways.

妮露：简单来说，就像是「纽带」吧！

Nilou：In other words, it's like a bond!

派蒙：「纽带」？

Paimon：A bond?

妮露：剧场为里卡尔姐姐提供了生活的资金支持，为加萨尼先生提供了灵感，为大巴扎的观众提供了快乐。

Nilou：The theater provides money for Ms. Rekhar and her children, inspiration for Mr. Khasani, and enjoyment for the people of the Great Bazaar.

妮露：还为阿娜耶提供了家庭之外的庇护…它关照了每一个人，才让我们像现在这样聚在一起。

Nilou：It also gives Inayah shelter from her family... It has brought us together after taking care of every single one of us.

妮露：以后，还会有更多人来到这个地方，受到来自剧场的恩惠。

Nilou：And its story won't end here. In the future, many more people will come to the theater and receive its blessing.

妮露：而这个温暖的集体，把我们曾经收获的善意，传播给更多的人。

Nilou：And we'll all be there for them. Our warm, welcoming community will show them the same kindness we were shown in the past.

妮露：这不就是「祖拜尔剧场」除了演出之外，另一个重要的意义所在吗？

Nilou：Aside from the delivery of performances, isn't this another reason for Zubayr Theater's continued existence?

派蒙：对啊，很有道理！而且这种温暖，之前我们筹备庆祝活动的时候，就已经感受到了。

Paimon：Yeah, that makes sense! We definitely felt that warmth during the preparations for the event.

派蒙：可是，我还是没搞懂，这对接下来的辩论有什么帮助呢？

Paimon：But, Paimon doesn't see how this will help in the debate.

【选项1】

旅行者：阿娜耶说他父亲不在乎「人情」。

Traveler: Inayah said that her father doesn't care for interpersonal relationships.

【选项2】

旅行者：这或许是他的弱点。

Traveler: This may be his weak point.

派蒙：啊，我懂了。就算是再怎么厉害的对手，遇到不擅长的话题，也会露出破绽！

Paimon：Oh, gotcha. No matter how strong an opponent is, they'll have to go on the defensive if pressed on a weak point!

妮露：这下子感觉又多了一重保险，谢谢你。

Nilou：I feel like that's another prong in our attack. Thank you so much.

派蒙：我也觉得安心多了。接下来就看真本事吧！

Paimon：Paimon also feels a lot more relieved. Let's show him what we got!

阿娜耶：抱歉，你们久等了，我回来了。

Inayah：Sorry for the wait. I'm back.

阿娜耶：比预想中顺利很多，父亲没怎么考虑就答应了辩论的提议，时间定在了两天之后。

Inayah：Things went a lot more smoothly than I expected. It didn't take long for him to accept the debate, and is set for two days from now.

阿娜耶：…怎么感觉你们笑得很开心，发生什么好事了吗？

Inayah：...Why are you all smiling so much? Did something good happen?

派蒙：因为我们发现你的父亲好像也没那么可怕。

Paimon：We realized that your dad might not be as scary as we had thought.

妮露：嘿嘿，总之是做好准备了，放心吧。

Nilou：Hee-hee, we've just finished our prep. Rest easy, it will all turn out well!

妮露：我们一定要赢…不，一定能赢，阿娜耶。

Nilou：We have to win... No, we WILL win, Inayah.

阿娜耶：嗯，我相信你。

Inayah：Hehe, fingers crossed!
